What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

My mini-goal is to treat my anxiety and depression through healthy eating and physical fitness rather than prescriptions, food, and alcohol.

I just met my last mini scale goal of staying consistently under 180 😀😀😀

Now I am moving on to staying consistently under 175.

Non scale goal - Eat at least 25 grams of fiber per day - making sure to have some at every meal.

This has been the answer for those problems for me!

I think that's a great goal! But I have to say something from personal experience. Don't be afraid of taking medications. I don't know how severe your symptoms are, but for me, I need them. I tried for something like 5 years to stay off of meds, but I ended up realizing that I need them. I had been on and off meds for 20 years... after 20 years of trial and error, I've become honest with myself and my doctor. I am on a very helpful med now! Good luck to you. Hope the healthy food and exercise works wonders for you!

I have a new orleans trip in fall and I want to feel good enough to do tours all day long and look beautiful in some of my dramatic photos I have planned.

MINI GOAL #1: Lose 10 pounds and 2-4 inches in four weeks!! (7/25 - 8/14)
HOW: 3 days/week resistance, stretching, HIIT and 20-25g net carbs and 8-10K steps daily.

This is a challenge. Working from home, my step count has become terrible. Going to Keto after a mostly HCHP diet - both diet and exercise are pushing me out of my comfort zone. Recently diagnosed pre-diabetic (wake-up call!), not only have I apparently been Insulin Resistant ~ I've also been KETO resistant a long time too - saying crazy stuff like there's NO WAY I could live like that! Friends, I've got a whole new perspective on the subject and starting Dr. Bergs beginner Keto/IF guide today.

6 pounds to go until I’m down to Class 2 Obesity from Class 3! Hoping to get there by my 8/26 doctor appointment!

Upping my water intake. We got a new fancy smart scale that takes aaaaalll the measurements so I figure it’s one easy thing I can control and track.

My mini goal is to get back to the weight I was before I caught COVID, stopped exercising (fatigue), and ate nothing but chocolate and curry for a month+ 🤣

2.7kg to go!

universalwonder007

I am focusing on: daily prep before bed for the next days meal plan - planning food only 2 days in advance. adding exercise where I can. Also same as above not succumbing to munchies with Husband at night!

I finally dropped below 150 this morning, so now I am aiming for 149.5. Not much difference, but definitely do-able!

klbaussie2

korimak0, I understand completely about the Covid situation. I had it last year, February, and my breathing, nor my physical strength is what it was before I was sick. I am now going to physical therapy, and I think (I hope) it is working. All we can do is keep on pushing ourselves a bit more each day, and staying with it. All the best to you!

I want to walk the Camino de Santiago!

Four months ago I broke my femur and dislodged my knee. So my mini goal right now is just being able to walk normal again. I've been working hard at that. First with a full leg brace, lots of calcium and protein, a sturdy walker and a great physical therapist. Then I added a cane that was used for small excursions, like from the bed to the bathroom. Then about a month ago my walker was folded up and the cane used exclusively. Now, four months into rehab, I am walking without the cane, indoors only, and taking walks outside with the cane. I'm making progress with a diligent exercise program, aiming toward a cruise of the British Isles next year.

Amazing! How far are you in the planning process? Do you know which route you want to take?

The Camino and the AT are both on my dream list, but I'm not sure if I'll ever have the time/money to prioritize it.

I'm looking at AT section hike options and maybe a Chartres pilgrimage as more plausible long term goals for my crazy life.

To hit the healthy BMI range (for me this is 65Kg). I have less than 4Kg to go!

drmwc

Climbing v5.

My previous mini-goal was to get v4. I don't always get them, and they are hard, but they sometimes go. So it is time to try the next step!

(I think going from v3 to v4 took me 2 years. So it may well be exponential progress. So v7 by the time I am 70 is my 20-year goal!)

My mother died 11 months ago and my emotional response included soothing myself with food, thus derailing all my healthy eating and weight loss efforts up to that point. I packed on a ton of weight! I badly want to get back on track and build my momentum eating healthy and exercising. My mini goal for my first week back on track is to drink my daily water and track my daily food.

SavageMrsMoose

Finally broke 160!!!

Next goal- below 154.5 - puts me officially at a healthy BMI

mlrtri

I am 6-7 pounds (depending on the scale that day) from leaving the BMI Obese category and moving into Overweight. Not planning on staying there. Just going to visit on my way to Healthy.

This is what I did. It was mentally much more manageable for me than staring down the entire weight loss goal at once. I used each 10 pounds to reflect on what was working, what wasn't working, and adjust my habits as needed.

Enjoy the process!

When I first started using the fitness app that I have on my phone it told me that I was "heavier than 99% of people" my height and age. Now it tells me that I am "lighter than 1% of people" my height and age. WTH, lol. 2 different ways of saying the same exact thing. After 6 months and 43 lbs the thing still hasn't budged. So frustrating.
Thus my mini goal is for this stupid app to finally show even 1% of progress.

Get to 24% Body Fat

This may not really be the right place for this but, the thing that is most motivating me right now is when I'm feeling stuck in a plateau and someone compliments me on making progress. Sometimes I may not see any progress. But it's very encouraging when someone else sees it and lets me know. That helps me stay on track and stop doubting myself.

I have a weird mini-goal but it is quite motivating. I'm in a tap dance company. It is VERY body positive and body inclusive, so luckily that is not an issue, and has always been welcoming to dancers of any size. However, changing of sizing can cause costuming issues at times. Two months ago I was at a very thin point and I was assigned a costume for my favorite piece that was a REALLY small size. Everyone is wearing something different in the dance, so this is sort of a one-of-a-kind thing, but they're all supposed to coordinate. I'm supposed to perform this piece again in just over a month and I think they expect me to wear the same costume. I'm sure we can figure out a backup to fit the overall scheme if I can't fit into the pants and it's not like they'll cut me from the piece over that! (And no, there is not the same pair in a larger size--we'd just have to figure out something else altogether.) But everyone loved how I looked and danced in that particular costume, so it would be great to fit into it again for the next performance. I'm actually thankful for this because it gives me a deadline. I have lost that many inches in that amount of time in the past (and it's not like I gained THAT much given that this was only two months ago that I was that small), but I can't loll around and hope it works without really trying. As long as I log calories here I know I'll be fine. I probably need to lose 5 lbs (very reasonable for a 5-6 week period.)

Mini goal is 70 minute half marathon 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Annie42019

I’m about to attend ( in six more weeks) an event with a lot of picture taking so I want to lose an extra 5 pounds from my normal ( post goal loss) right now. I’m down 2.5 pounds since the start of the month so im hoping to get there.

JaysFan82

Getting below 300 for the first time in 10 years. I'm so close!
